Short-Form Social Media Video Editor & Graphic Designer

Short-Form Social Media Video Editor & Graphic Designer

Full-Time | Long-Term Remote Role

Luna Media is a UK-based social media agency working with local businesses, tradespeople, entrepreneurs and growing brands.

We are looking for a genuinely talented Short-Form Social Media Video Editor & Graphic Designer to join our creative team long term.

This is not a Virtual Assistant role.

If your main experience is general VA work, administration, basic Canva design or AI-generated content, this position is not suitable for you.

We are looking for someone whose core skill is creative production.

IMPORTANT — PREVIOUS APPLICANTS

If you have previously applied for a Luna Media video editing, graphic design or creative position and were not specifically invited by us to progress, please do not apply again.

We have already reviewed previous applications and portfolios.

THE ROLE

Our clients typically post around five times per week across platforms including Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and YouTube Shorts.

This position is designed to handle creative production across up to approximately 15 client accounts.

The advertised monthly salary covers the full expected scope of this position, including working across this client workload.

This is not a per-client role and the salary does not automatically increase as additional client accounts are assigned within the agreed workload.

For each client, you may create a mixture of:

Short-form Reels and TikToks

Talking-head edits

B-roll edits

Static social media graphics

Carousels

Before-and-after content

Branded posts

Promotional content

Repurposed social media content

Captions and motion typography within videos

Our internal team handles the overall strategy, content planning, ideas, written captions and client direction.

You will be given:

Real client videos

Raw phone footage

Real photographs

Brand assets

Logos

Existing creative examples

Content briefs and direction

Your job is to take those assets and turn them into professional, engaging and creative social media content.

We do not want somebody who simply drops footage into templates.

We want someone who can look at ordinary raw footage and think:

“How can I make this significantly better?”

THIS IS NOT AN AI CONTENT CREATION ROLE

This is very important.

We are not looking for AI-generated videos, AI-generated people, AI-generated images or generic AI creative to replace genuine client content.

Our clients are real businesses.

The content needs to show their real people, real work, real products, real services and real businesses.

You will primarily be editing and designing using real footage and photography supplied by our clients.

AI tools may be used behind the scenes where appropriate to improve your workflow, but the finished creative must be based around genuine client assets unless Luna Media specifically requests otherwise.

If the majority of your portfolio consists of AI-generated videos or images, please do not apply.

We want an editor and designer who can take real-world footage and make it look exceptional.

EXPERIENCE REQUIRED

You must have at least 3 years of genuine experience editing short-form social media content.

You should have strong experience creating content for platforms such as:

Instagram Reels

TikTok

Facebook

YouTube Shorts

You should understand:

Hooks

Pacing

Viewer retention

Typography

Visual hierarchy

B-roll

Sound design

Pattern interrupts

Branding

Motion graphics

Platform-native editing

How to make ordinary footage engaging

How to maintain different brand identities

You must also be confident creating professional social media graphics and carousels.

Every Luna Media client has a different identity.

We do not want every client looking like they came from the same Canva template.

PORTFOLIO REQUIREMENTS

Do not apply without relevant recent work.

Your application must include direct links to:

3 recent short-form videos that you personally edited

AND

3 recent social media graphics or carousels that you personally designed

Ideally, these examples should have been created within the last 12 months.

We want to see real client or business content and genuine footage editing.

Please clearly explain what you personally created in each example.

Do not simply send us a huge Google Drive folder containing hundreds of unrelated files.

Make it easy for us to see your best work.

If you cannot provide strong examples of both video editing and graphic design, please do not apply.

SOFTWARE

Experience with software such as the following is useful:

Adobe Premiere Pro

After Effects

Photoshop

CapCut

Canva

However, we care far more about the quality of your work than which software you use.

Experience with tools such as Google Drive, Notion, Metricool and other collaborative platforms is also useful.

WHAT WE EXPECT

You must be:

Creative

Reliable

Organised

Detail-oriented

Comfortable receiving feedback

Comfortable making revisions

Able to work independently

Able to manage multiple client brands

Able to follow brand guidelines

Confident communicating in English

Comfortable using WhatsApp

Comfortable joining occasional Zoom/video calls

Comfortable working with organised Google Drive folders and client assets

You must also have reliable availability and some overlap with UK working hours for communication and feedback.

LONG-TERM OPPORTUNITY

We are not looking for someone for a one-off freelance project.

We are building a long-term creative team as Luna Media grows.

For the right person, there will be an opportunity to become an important part of that team and take on greater creative responsibility over time.

HOW TO APPLY

Start your application with the word:

BLACKBOOK

If your application does not start with this word, we will assume you have not read the full job description.

Then include:

Your full name
